Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 7365 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee SC 4,
Outfitting and deck machinery.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7365:1983), which has been technically revised.

4 Design and operation

4.1 Material stresses

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW

The manufacturer of the winch shall be responsible for determining the strength requirements of the component
parts of the winch to withstand all loads of the respective nominal sizes, as specified in Table 2.
(standards.iteh.ai)
4.2 Basic calculation
ISO 7365:2012
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/2027a173-e5a5-453d-824f-
4.2.1 Stalling load of the winch
e40cedd3f35c/iso-7365-2012
The allowable calculated stresses of any affected part of the winch, based on simple elastic theory, shall not be
greater than 0,9 times the upper yield strength (ReH), or 0,2 % of proof strength, of a non-proportional extension
(RP0.2) of the material.

4.2.2 Drum load of the winch

The allowable calculated stresses of any affected part of the winch, based on simple elastic theory, shall not be
greater than 0,4 times the upper yield strength (ReH), or 0,2 % of proof strength, of a non-proportional extension
(RP0.2) of the material.

4.2.3 Holding load of the winch

The allowable calculated stresses of any affected part of the winch, based on simple elastic theory, shall not be
greater than 0,9 times the upper yield strength (ReH), or 0,2 % of proof strength, of a non-proportional extension
(RP0.2) of the material.

4.3 Load alarm device

Provisions shall be made to incorporate an alarm device giving an alarm signal at 50 % of wire-breaking load.

4.4 Brakes

4.4.1 Electric winches shall be provided with an automatic braking system which operates when the controls
are put in the stop or braking position, and also when there is no tension on the winch. The brake shall be capable
of holding a load of 1,25 times the drum load, and of stopping the rotation of the drum from its maximum speed

 ISO 7365:2012(E)

without suffering damage. For other types of drive, a suitable braking system shall be agreed upon between the
manufacturer and purchaser. Such a system shall be capable of holding a load of 1,25 times the drum load.

4.4.2 All winches shall be provided with a drum brake (towing brake) with the functions of a normal brake and
emergency brake. The emergency brake shall not be less than 80 % of the breaking strength of the rope, without
conventional power supply. For the holding load of a normal brake, see 5.1.1. If this brake is power operated, it
shall also be capable of manual operation.

4.5 Drum design

4.5.1 Design basis rope

For design purposes, the drum shall be based on an eight-strand rope manufactured from 1 770 N/mm2 or
1 960 N/mm2 tensile grade steel rope in accordance with Table C.10 of ISO 2408.

NOTE The above requirement does not preclude the use of other types of rope in service.

Unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer, the breaking strength of ropes is selected
according to Table 1.

4.5.2 Drum diameter e40cedd3f35c/iso-7365-2012

The drum diameter shall not be less than 14 times the diameter of the design-basis rope (see Table 2).

4.5.3 Drum capacity

For guidance, normal capacity is given in Table 2. Individual requirements may be specified by the purchaser.

The rules of the competent authorities of flag states shall apply.

4.5.4 Drum length

The drum shall be designed to accommodate at least 50 m of steel cable on the inner layer.

4.5.5 Drum flange height

When all the rope is reeled on a drum, the flange shall project at least 1,5 times the rope diameter above the
outermost layer.

4.5.6 Connection strength of rope and drum

The breaking load of the rope attachment to the drum shall be at most 15 % of the breaking strength of the rope.

4.5.7 Drum clutch

The drum shall be declutchable from the drive; the power-operated clutch shall also be declutchable manually.
